Welcome to The Graveyard. Pull up a headstone, grab a cold one and feel free to raise some OT.

All of you are probably acquainted with the rules that accompany an OT discussion thread, but Iâ€™ll list them anyway.

This thread is for off topic conversation/discussion. Not mindless spam! If you want to post in this thread take the time to create a meaningful post.
Do NOT make any racist or derogatory remarks, flame, use foul language, link to inappropriate images, discuss hack/cheats or try to bypass the wordfilter.

Now that the official stuff is out of the way, I invite you all to join me in meaningful OT discussion while enjoying a nice virtual beverage. Or if you happen to have a one standing near your computer, an IRL beverage.

What everyone up to this weekend (Those who play WoW need not answer enuff said lol )

First Iâ€™m going to mourn the loss of Naruto to a License. After that Iâ€™m going to play some Hitman. Maybe Iâ€™ll go and have a few drinks with a few mates. Iâ€™ll see if I can avoid schoolwork this weekend, but I donâ€™t think Iâ€™ll be that lucky.

I heard that the US offically licensed Naruto and it forcing some of the fan subbers to stop. Somehow i have a feeling that this might not deter some of them anyway the frightening news/rumours is that they might change some of the names. To simplify for the western audience.

All the sites that bring you high quality subs, such as ANBU and Dattebayo, will stop subbing a series once it is licensed. They do this because they face a real risk of getting sued by the company that licensed the series. It has happened on several occasions.

Donâ€™t get me wrong, I donâ€™t mind supporting the creators of a wonderful series. I would gladly pay for the series if I could get the original Japanese with English subs. What Iâ€™ll be paying for now (if I ever manage to find the DVDâ€™s in Holland) is a dub with altered names and scenes that will be censored. Most likely the company that licensed Naruto will butcher every episode. The rumours about the name changes seems to back this up.

DB is still subbing

I hope they won't remove too much violence and blood from Naruto, although it's obvious that the swearing won't be translated. The rumors about the name changes started as soon as the news was known, and how horrible as they might seem, I doubt they'll change the names much. There is no understandable way for a person to say Sasuke in English, so there's a tricky one though. If they just keep the Japanese way of saying names they'll be alright.

Oh my god... a d2 guru is doing something else than diablo. And he's posting in an off-topic thread. What has the world gone to? Ongelofelijk.
